THE PACESETTER - 17 NOVEMBER 2025
🔥HOT TOPIC
What were the odds of winning last weekend’s record breaking $55 Million Powerball jackpot?
Who cares, we buy a ticket because it taps into something deeply human and that is hope.
We’re buying a dream it’s not the fact we won’t win. We’ve bought an opportunity.
💡SPOTLIGHT

Its Grand Dam!
💭OPINION
According to new research out of Massey University, fewer than half of New Zealand workers are fully disconnecting from the job when they are on holiday. Simple solution here, don’t take your phone on holiday. Leave it with your cat at home 😊
💎GEM OF THE WEEK
Highlands Park in Cromwell
Highlands announced Liam Lawson would be at their track to ride hot laps for charity on 23 December 2025. Twenty tickets for Lamborghini rides with Lawson, they were only $399, and sold out within minutes. Too cheap I say, what a bargain?
🏉SPORTIFY
Athletics has moved to the opening week of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The women’s 100 metre final will be on the first day 15/07/2028.
📊OF INTEREST
New Zealand’s current fertility rate is 1.6 down from 2.1 in 2013. Statistics show to maintain a steady population without immigrants requires a fertility rate of 2.2. That means we will have to rely on immigration to maintain or grow our population.
New Zealand tax debt owing has now reached $9.3 billion.
While times are tough, that’s a lot of tax debt that could fill the Government coffers.
📈THE MARKETS
Physical AI is here and its further down the track than we might think. Machines and robots powering them to move, act and integrate themselves into the real world might not be evident here in little old New Zealand but the likes of China and Japan are at the forefront.
Could AI robots be commonly used in the workplace here in New Zealand in five years’ time?
